Arrived in RDU from SFO last night thru roughest turbulence i've experienced 😭 if there are any airplane experts here, what is going on when it feels like the plane is being tossed around, and there is a loud roaring noise? Are the pilots gunning engines or is that the wind?

Old style proofreading: the final frontier 🙃

It is really worth doing this even though I've gone over this mss so many times already. A few punctuation things, a few typos, and occasional unnecessary sentences or unclear dialogue tags add up!

Okay, okay, I give in, it’s 2025 awards eligibility time! I still have December stories coming, which means I cannot yet bring myself to make an extra-fancy graphic or a full long thread, but… until then, I hope you’ll consider reading some of my stories! Will link a couple favorites in the 🧵 (1/4)
